PROGRESS

TALKS Prospects Of Agreement Are Brighter

Paris, Mar. 12.

IN

Franco-Vietnamese negotiations on full in- dependence for Vietnam within the French Union will resume here today with prospects somewhat brighter than seemed two days ago.

After the French National Assembly's reso- lution on Tuesday, threatening by implication to withdraw French troops from Indo-China if the Vietnam Government did not agree to remain In the Union, there was a danger that the Viet- namese delegates would return home to Saigon as the heroes of nationalism.

But oil was poured on troubled water at a lunch yesterday between the French Prime Minister, Mr Joseph Laniel, and the Vietnam Prime Minister, Prince Buu Loc.

The Vietnam leader pointed out that his Government had nover repudiated its member ship of the French Union and that

the Head of State, cx- Emperor Bua Dal, had

even asked for a strengthening of the central organs of the Union,

Though total victories against these forces cannot be expected for some time, it is thought possible that the main concentrations will be split up by evacuation, surrender or defeat, leaving only small hands of guerillas to be mopped up.
